I meant that Mozilla has implemented code similar to fontconfig, not that it used fontconfig. Another case of this is the MiniXFT driver in Pango. > ..missing glyph, loca... > make the process somewhat faster, but still not fast > enough to avoid needing to cache the results. The Linux code is detecting the missing glyphs in all fonts and caching to disk. I have a lot of fonts installed and this processes takes over 2 minutes on a 1.1Ghz Athlon. But it only happens once. The Windows code uses the loca table to compute the data when the font file is first opened. It is then cached in memory. It is fast enough that I can only even notice it when I load Unicode Arial. > I'll bet they just integrated the handful of glib > functions needed by > pango -- glib really isn't a gtk-specific library, > it's just a bunch of C > utility routines. I didn't dig into the Sun code yet. Here's a pointer. http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/ctl/ > one provides for a shared font database among all > applications.

How close is the fontconfig patch to being ready? After Mozilla 1.0 is out it should be easier to add code that isn't 100% stable. ===== Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
